Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I wish to speak today about the passing of Albert Lafferty. Albert Lafferty of Fort Good Hope passed away at Stanton Hospital last week at the age of 91. Albert was a Metis who came originally from Fort Nelson, his family moved to Wrigley, then Providence and then in 1920s, by his own admission moved to Good Hope for three months to work as a clerk under the great grandfather of Ludy Pudluk, of all people. He spoke Cree, French, learned two dialects of Dene and had a very good grasp of English as well. He was generally a self- taught man and was seen by Good Hope as the resident linguist and historian since he was insatiably curious about the meaning of words, the history of place names and the way in which language developed. He had an impeccable memory, Mr.
